古き良き時代の昭和レトロ自転車を甦らせています。
昭和20年代～30年代国産の軽快車・実用車・運搬車の黄金時代。
当時は2ヶ月分の給料、「一家・一台・一生」の時代、謹製自転車の研究。 Emaiｌ: showajitensha@hotmail.co.jp They don't make them like they used to. This blog is dedicated to the research, restoration and preservation of bicycles from before during and just after the 1950's, a period when bicycles cost two months' salary; an age when each household had a single "the family" bicycle built to last a lifetime; a time when Japanese craftsmen and women poured their hearts into humbly producing art on wheels.

Shige-san's Blog (A Wealth of Information)

来週、日本語で新しく投稿します。

There are many things that make restoration difficult and certainly one of them is information. Getting photos and other information on bicycles that were manufactured over a half century ago is not easy. The vast majority of the manufacturers are long gone. A little over a year ago when I was searching for information to help me with parts for a NOS Hikari frame, I received an email from Shige-san with quite a few photos on Hikari bicycles.

Shige-san not only has several vintage bicycles, but lots of parts and is well known among collectors. Shige-san operates a blog in Japanese on vintage Japanese bicycles. Since the blog is in Japanese, and thus provides a major challenge as far as navigation goes for non-Japanese, I have provided links below to several models which appear on Shige-san's blog.
